Empowering young people to drive the green and digital transition
Parcours for the future.
Parcours for the future.
PAFF - Parcours for the Future is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership in vocational education and training. We support education stakeholders and thereby young people in understanding and being prepared for future challenges and labour market trends.
The project presents most recent data on future labour market trends in the fields of digitalisation and green economy, in the partner countries and EU-wide, to inform practitioners, career counsellors and education stakeholders across partner countries with an online conference, thesis papers and an e-learning course. The main outcome is the parcours, an innovative format where young people can explore green and digital professions and the related skills in a hands-on and playful method of interactive learning. The tool can be used by teachers and educators to raise awareness on the topics of sustainability and digital future amongst young people aged 14-18.
PAFF is led by LIFE e.V. (Germany). Project partners are: ALFA Liguria (Italy), ARNO (North Macedonia), GINNlab (Italy), Goethe-Institut (Germany) and Scoala de Valori (Romania).
Find out more about the project in Italian, German, Macedonian and Romanian language by visiting the partners’ dedicated webpages.
